Dolce & Biscotti

Gluten free Italian pastries! Yes!!! Outstanding & super friendly staff!
Bought the GF Neoplitan– perfection! Along with the GF Cheesecakes! WOW!
Will be back!
So happy to see more GF desserts available & a great variety too! They also make GF birthday cakes upon request!

Tried the back & white cookie– was moist and delicious. The cake balls, where nice and rich but not too chocolatey. The eclairs (what I was looking forward to) were excellent! Just like how we make them in school. Their scones are giant– but the lemon could use just a hint more of lemon flavor. Overall it’s a wonderful bakery, people at the counter are very nice, extremely helpful and clean.

I fell upon this cute little bakery by accident. I am gluten intolerant and have been struggling to find not just decent but great baked goods that are gluten free! This place unlike most has a wide selection of gluten free options. The absolute best are the gluten free bonbons, supremely moist cake dipped in a chocolate shell! Absolutely amazing! And the almonds cookies similar to almond horns, soft sweet and very good. I will be back for sure. The young lady behind the counter was helpful and didn’t seem the least bit bothered by all of my questions. I am happy to have found not just a bakery with one or two gluten free items but a wide selection.

I was trying to dine someone to do my daughters cake for her bday party and after other places didn’t call me back when they said they would I tried dolce and biscotti… I wish I tried them first! they were very friendly… very timely in calling me back and were able to do a big order for me in less than a weeks notice!!! The cake was amazing and tasted delicious too and the cookies were to die for! I got sooo many compliments on the cake and cookies! Will def be using them from now on!!! They have their competitors beat!!!

A friend told me about this bakery about 2 months ago. The cream puffs were the closest to the ones my mother used to make. The French macaroons are delicious. I purchased a carrot cake out of the case for a party and it was fabulous. The red velvet cake was recommended by a friend so I purchased that the next time I needed one for a house party, and to my dismay was very dry and tasted stale. So even as a whole their products are good, consistency is important and necessary for continues business. I have not been back since and now am not in any hurry to return.

If you’re looking for a wedding cake this is the place to go. They take time to allow you to sample all the different combinations. They have great flavors and I did find them reasonably priced. Many of my wedding guests inquired about the delicious wedding cake and I told them where I had it made. In fact after the wedding I even purchased my husband’s 40^th birthday cake from them. Where they drop the ball is when you get your anniversary cake a year later. It’s almost as if they don’t want you to remember that they offer a free anniversary cake. They don’t care what they deliver to you. I asked for a cake that was similar to my wedding cake profile flavors and asked that it wasn’t to sweet, as my wedding cake was delicious and not overly sweet. While ordering the cake I was told no and they could only get close to what they could do for me. I didn’t ask for much, just for the flavor to be replicated. I got a overly sweet cake with a bitter filling. Now normally one saves the top part of the cake and I would have if I wasn’t offered an anniversary cake. Great for a wedding cake but be aware the anniversary cake will underwhelm.

Time for the boy’s birthday and he wants two things: A new 3DS XL and a cake from Dolce & Biscotti. I stopped in on Thursday, dealt with a very pleasant young woman and ordered an 8″ cake white with white frosting, balloons (her suggestion) and blue as the accent color. I paid $ 30 at the time of booking. Picked up on Saturday afternoon from another very pleasant staff member. She packaged it quickly and it was perfect. Exactly as I requested, ready on time and smelling like a dream. This place is now a ‘thing’ in my family and this is where all cakes come from. Well done!

If you love cupcakes this is the place to go! Coconut cupcakes are delicious. So are the lemon and chocolate. Cream puffs are excellent too and the scones so many selections so delicious. Not a big fan of Italian cookies so won’t review them. But if you’re looking for a little something to bring for lunch with a friend. Bring a cupcake! My relatives on Long Island ask me to bring them some cupcakes every time I visit. Can’t really recommend them enough!

I came here for the first time with my sister to get some treats for our cousin. Upon first glance the place looks cute and it smells really good inside. They seem to have a decent selection, not as many as bella napoli or villa italia, but decent. We ordered a bunch of stuff which turned out to be about 17 dollars which I didn’t think was too bad. We got the tri color cookie which is my favorite but it was really dry and pretty tasteless. The truffles were good but the tri color cookie really left a bad taste in my mouth. Also, the customer service was nothing to speak about. No one greeted us when we walked in, and we were the only ones in there. Also, when we asked for a certain pastry the girl working simply replied «we don’t have anymore» and was rude about it. Didn’t offer a time for when they would have more or any type of replacement or anything. One of my biggest pet peeves is when businesses don’t have what you’re looking for, and don’t offer something similar or don’t let you know when they’ll have another one. I may give it another try because the truffles were very good but I think they need a better selection and more friendly employees.

I love baked goods! So they have some of the best frosting I’ve ever tasted! I was pleased to see the vast selection of treats and also meal foods: pizza, savory pastries, & quiches. Definitely try this place. There are a couple tables and chairs outside for customers who can’t wait to eat their goodies!

Cakes are average, customer service is awful! ordered a cake for a party several months ago, it was good and a very convenient location so i ordered 3 additional 8−10″ cakes on a tuesday for a party that i am having for work tomorrow (friday)…when i placed the order, the girl that took my order said not to pay at that time and that they would be calling me back to confirm the order because she had to ask her boss regarding a request and whether or not there would be an upcharge. WELL…2 days later and they did not call back and i receive a message stating that i cannot get my cakes since i never called them back after they «left voicemails and called me several times» — which was completely not true because OBVIOUSLY i would have called back because OBVIOUSLY i want my cakes! i immediately called mary back to reconcile the situation, and was given INSTANT ATTITUDE when i was trying to explain to her that i did not receive one voicemail or missed call from them, and that they must have either dialed my number wrong or not included my area code (which is not a 518 area code). WILL NEVER ORDER FROM HERE AGAIN — trying to support a small local business, but not a fan of the customer service, whatsoever.

I like this little place in Saratoga attached to the Northshire Book Store and Kilwins. The cupcakes are full size, moist, and fresh, with lots of nice favors –not the ridiculous unappetizing favors so many cupcake places put out there. Nice cookies, scones, and turnovers. Nice bakery case. Basic coffee drinks which are very good. Most recently I had a cupcake and large iced latte and it was $ 8. It’s a nice place to take a quiet break from the bustle of Broadway. Some outdoor seating in the alley… again, nice to get off the street a little bit. And then go to the book store.
Everyone has their personal taste in food and bakeries. I personally have not found that downstate or Bronx or Brooklyn, or manhattan bakeries are my taste. I like this one better.

Cute little place, great to see they are expanding to Saratoga. Staff is friendly and helpful. I most recently had a Coconut Cupcake with Buttercream Frosting and it was delicious!

Just had a platter of their Italian cookies, not so good, dry, oversized and just not attractive cookies. I am a baker and can produce much better and have sampled from many area bakeries and found better.
Their prices are also very high, this is not downstate NY and if you are going to charge that much you better deliver on quality. Overall if you just want a treat and you don’t bake you should be fine, but remember there is much better in the area!

Now anyone that knows me, knows I’m not originally from this area. That being said, I’ve been to Dolce & Biscotti many times and haven’t really had any disappointments. It’s not Bronx or Little Italy standards, but it’s a great place, good variety, soups made during colder months, and an awesome staff. I would definitely recommend them and can say with certainty, you’ll be happy that you went!

Love this place — and am very thankful that the store is a 45 min drive or we would be here way too often! We have been there several times and never had anything that wasn’t wonderful. A new family favorite

Finally got to try the Tiramisu cake. It is really rich and buttery. The 6 inch cake is supposed to serve 4 to 6 people. I think 6 to 9 might be more like it. I also think it could benefit from more espresso flavor. The key to enjoying this cake is to let it get to room temperature before eating. Otherwise the butter cream frosting will do you in.
I’ve also been enjoying the Savory Scone with bacon and scallions. Yum!
They also have a couple of tables to sit and enjoy your treats at with some coffee

Add their Bread Pudding to my list of favorites. Moist with fruit pieces, great flavors, and not overly sweet.

Tried my standbys: oreo and chocolate peanut butter. Both were made out of the same chocolate cake. The cake was moist. The cupcakes where huge for $ 3.5 (double the size of Bettie’s size B for the same price). The cake tasted exactly like the cake Bettie’s uses and I just find it plain tasting. The frostings were good, but all of the flavor for the name sake of the cupcake came from the frosting. There wasn’t too much frosting on top, but the centers were injected with what appeared to be about half of a cup of flavored buttercream frosting, which pushed the cake: frosting ratio in the wrong direction. The decorating was pretty standard for the type of cupcakes, an oreo on one and a ½ peanut butter cup on the other.
Good quality and value for the price.
I wanted to get a piece of the tomato pie as it looked delicious, but there was a grandma and daughter explaining every 5 seconds that the grandson/​son had a sever peanut allergy and asking if the item had nuts in it and creating chaos across the counter. The woman behind the counter explained at least 5 times in the 15 minutes I was there that it wasn’t a peanut free facility and that she couldn’t guarantee there was no cross contamination. So just so all of you know: Dolce and Biscotti is NOT a peanut free facility. That should solve the problem of needing to ask repeatedly. Next time I’m getting a piece of that tomato pie, it looked amazing.

We got a big box of goodies from here last night. Tried two of the cupcakes, the lemon and the chocolate peanut butter. The cakes were reasonably moist and flavorful but the icing was grainy. On a cupcake there is nothing worse than grainy icing, short of a hair or a bug. Needless to say, the icing was discarded, it just wasn’t worth the sugar rush.
The best thing we ate was the macaron. I kind of wish we bought more than one since it was my favorite item we tried. The shell was just right, not too wet in the middle, the perfect amount of chew with a sweet almond flavor. The buttercream that sandwiched the cookie together was a little skimpy but if it’s the same one they use on their cupcakes, that’s OK by me.
I really wanted a cannolo and had high hopes since the bakery has an Italian name that they would be good. On this I was disappointed. Pre stuffed shells, which I can deal with although it’s not ideal but the filling? What is it? It doesn’t taste like traditional cannoli cream, it was just bland. Though I did appreciate that they don’t put candied citron in their filling since that’s the bane of my cannoli loving existence.
If I was in the area, I would stop in for some macarons but I wouldn’t make a special trip to come back.

Having a very sweet tooth and drinking a very strong venti Starbucks coffee, I needed to stop at Dolce & Biscotti located in the Town Center Plaza in Halfmoon. Stepping inside this little Italian bakery feels very feminine since the wall colors are bright pink. They have a decent selection of frosted cupcakes, cannolis (prefilled), cookies, brownies, pastries, bread, full size cakes, and assorted fancies. The bakery area is open behind the display cases, watching the staff frost and bake cakes.
I decided to get a box with a few items to go with the coffee. I got a chocolate dipped cannoli with chocolate chips, a brownie with buttercream & cherry, lemon bar, and small cookie stuffed with fig paste, totaling $ 6.50. All of the items were chilled and the taste was sweeter than most bakeries I’ve been to. The fig cookie was pretty good to snack on, could taste some orange flavors too, but the lemon bar tasted like all sugar, could not taste any lemon flavors. The brownie was chewy topped with a sugary sweet frosting. The cannoli had a sweet ricotta filling, decent.
Gosh, that venti coffee was finished so quickly with all those sweets. I still had some sweets leftover for another Starbucks coffee for the next day.
